Q2 Are Lingayat Brahmins or not? KR Lingayatism emerged as a reactionary force against Brahminism. Lingayat rejects Vedas and cruel Hindu caste system. According to Lingayat religion, they don't believe in Vedas, Bhagavad Gita, Purana or Upanishads, neither they worship 33 crore Hindu Gods or bow to Brahmins. So worshipping shiva lingam and banning the caste, any one as in Buddhism, may become a Lingayat including the brahmin varna as the founder Basweswara.

Still they need not be 100% correct answers.One joke is included.* * Compiled and posted by R Gopalakrishnan, 80, on 31-3-2024 * *Q1 How can you find the smartest person in a room?* *A1 Swara, Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India (2002–present)6mo* *When my dad was in the 7th grade, he experienced a memorable incident. During one of his lectures, his teacher posed a seemingly random question: "How can we determine the freshness of puffed rice without actually consuming it?"* *Surprisingly, the student who was often considered the least academically inclined in the class came to the rescue. With an air of simplicity, he boldly offered his answer: "To check the freshness of puffed rice, you can hold it between two fingers and crush it. If it's soft, it's not fresh."* *A profound hush fell over the classroom as this unconventional response registered with the students. They were astonished that the student, who was not known for excelling in academics, had provided the solution to a question that had baffled them all.* *This incident served as a poignant reminder that intelligence comes in many forms, and sometimes, unconventional thinkers can offer the most insightful perspectives, even in the world of academics. Finding the smartest person in a room is like searching for the freshness of puffed rice without a taste test.* *Q2 Are Lingayats Brahmins or not?* *A2 Hari Narasimhan, Lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India Feb 25* *No, they are not* *Brahmin is a Varna. All Brahmins have a Vedic root irrespective of where they come from. Vedas are the philosophical texts that govern Brahmins. One may argue that anybody can study Vedas, its true that anyone can study Vedas but Vedas are integral to a Brahmin. One cannot separate a Brahmin from Vedic roots. Also all Brahmins have descended from a set of Rishis, and this lineage is known as a Gotra. Thus Brahminism can be considered a religion akin to Zorastrianism or Judaism since there is a governing philosophy. Just like one cannot convert to Judaism and Zorastrianism, one cannot convert to Brahminism. One has to be born into it to become a Brahmin* *Lingayatism is a religious order founded by the 12th century philosopher and social reformer Basavanna. He fought against the established order in the 12th century and wanted to create an egalitarian society. A religious order means that one can undergo a ritual and convert to it. People from many castes, including Brahmins underwent the ritual and became Lingayats. Technically even a Koryak from Kamchatka peninsula can undergo the ritual and become a Lingayat. Their governing philosophy is “Basava tatva”* *Edit : As my friend Goutham pointed out there are Brahmins who have converted and become Lingayats. In fact Basavanna himself was born in a Brahmin family* *Q3 What should your blood sugar levels be in the morning? * *A3 Dr. Benjamin McLean, Doctor of Medicine at Mater Private Hospital, Brisbane (2015–present) Nov 13* *As a Doctor of Medicine, I can provide information on recommended blood sugar levels in the morning. Fasting blood sugar levels, which are measured after an overnight fast, are an important indicator of overall blood glucose control. The normal range for fasting blood sugar levels can vary slightly among different organizations, but generally, it is considered to be between 70 and 100 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or 3.9 to 5.6 millimoles per liter (mmol/L).* *Here is a breakdown of fasting blood sugar levels:* *1. Normal Range: Fasting blood sugar levels between 70 to 100 mg/dL (3.9 to 5.6 mmol/L) are generally considered normal. This indicates that your body is effectively managing glucose levels during the fasting period.* *2. Prediabetes: Fasting blood sugar levels between 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L) may suggest prediabetes. Individuals in this range are at an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes and should consider lifestyle modifications, including diet and exercise, to prevent progression.* *3. Diabetes: Fasting blood sugar levels of 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) or higher on two separate tests indicate diabetes. If you consistently have fasting blood sugar levels in this range, it is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional for a comprehensive evaluation and management plan.* *It's important to note that these values serve as general guidelines and individual variations may exist. Additionally, factors such as age, overall health, and medical history can influence the interpretation of blood sugar levels. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels, especially in the morning, is essential for individuals with diabetes or those at risk of developing the condition.* *If you have concerns about your blood sugar levels or if you receive abnormal results, it is crucial to consult with a healthcare provider. They can conduct further assessments, provide personalized advice, and determine an appropriate course of action to maintain optimal blood glucose control. Regular medical check-ups, lifestyle modifications, and adherence to prescribed medications, if necessary, play key roles in managing blood sugar levels effectively.* *Q4 What are ten truths everyone should accept in life?* *A4 A K M Intisar Islam,Studied Mechatronics at Rajshahi University of Engineering & Technology (RUET) (Graduated 2020)3y* * (Number 10 is my personal favorite)* *You’re walking towards DEATH* *You’re replaceable in every field.

No and Go are the shortest sentences that can be formed.* *3.If the ‘gh’ from ‘rough’ make an f sound, the ‘o’ in ‘women’ makes an ‘i’ sound, and the ‘ti’ from ‘nation’ makes a ‘sh’ sound, then ‘ghoti’ is pronounced ‘fish’.* *4. The sentence “The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.” contains every letter in the alphabet.* *In fact, keyboard manufacturers type this sentence in order to ensure that all of the keys work.* *5. If the Saxons and Angles hadn’t immigrated to England in the Middle Ages, America would likely be speaking Celtic.* *The Angles were the ones who brought the earliest form of English to Britain.* *6.

Not quite "skyscrapers" by our modern standards, but there were already buildings in New York with more than ten stories. Indeed, there was one such building standing just across the street.* *JP Morgan decided to build his building only four stories high, just to show off that he could afford to buy the most expensive piece of land in the country, and then put a building only four stories high on it.* *He also didn't put his name on it, nor the eponymous name of his company, because he figured everyone would know what the building was.* *JP Morgan & Co. owned the building until 2003, using it as a conference center after moving their headquarters to a larger building in the 1980's. They never did put their name on it.* *More information: 23 Wall Street* -- On Facebook, please join https://www.facebook.com/groups/keralaiyerstrust We are now on Telegram Mobile App also, please join Pattars/Kerala Iyers Discussions: https://t.me/PattarsGroup Kerala Iyers Trust Decisions only posts : https://t.me/KeralaIyersTrust Kerala Iyers Trust Group for Discussions: https://t.me/KeralaIyersTrustGroup --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "KeralaIyers" group.
